   # Roasted Marshmallow Rice Krispie Treats

   **with dark chocolate & flakey sea salt**

   I’m convinced that a marshmallow’s transformation when roasted is basically magic, so I never miss an opportunity to toast them up when I can! Making rice crispy treats with roasted marshmallows adds a whole new layer of flavor (and the browned butter also bumps up the flavor of these bars).

   Enjoy them plain or dipped in chocolate (I prefer them dipped) and top with some flakey sea salt to make this a truly elevated version of the classic!

   # Ingredients

   * 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
   * 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
   * 4 tbsp salted butter
   * 10 oz dark chocolate pieces (optional)*
   * Flakey sea salt (optional)

   *You want to use chocolate that melts down nicely. Not all chocolate chips melt well, I use Ghirardelli brand chocolate chips for this.

   # Instructions

   1. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper or wax paper and lightly spray it with oil.
   2. In small saucepan over medium heat melt the butter. Continue cooking the butter, mixing frequently until it becomes a golden brown color (this will take about 5 minutes). Remove from heat. Transfer browned butter into a large heatproof bowl or pot where you will be able to easily stir your rice krispie treats together, and set aside.
   3. Set oven to broil.
   4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Evenly spread the marshmallows onto sheet.
   5. Place under broiler for ~1 minute until marshmallows are puffed and golden. Monitor the marshmallows continuously and rotate the sheet as needed to make sure all areas are roasted.
   6. Lightly spray a rubber spatula with oil and use it to scrape the marshmallows into the bowl with the butter. Stir quickly to combine, then add in the rice krispies cereal and mix until fully combined.
   7. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared 9×13 pan. Allow it to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
   8. Optional: After cooling and cutting, melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Dip the rice krispie treats into the chocolate then set on wax paper to cool. When the chocolate is mostly cooled, top with the flakey sea salt to finish. Store in an airtight container.
